That's the problem with CDMA. It is a much more closed standard and usually the only phones you find that work are that carrier's phones. I have refused to support CDMA tech ever and will continue down that path.

Ya, I wouldn't either at this point, I would be on T-Mo but my company pays for mine. So free CDMA beats any other possible offer, LOL. Verizon is a bit locked down on some models and slow to release updates, but I don't really care, I update my own anyhow.
